Moby Grape
Moby Grape
Moby Grape is an example of a talented band that, through a combination of mismanagement and inexperience, unfortunately never fully realized its potential. Along with the Flamin' Groovies, they were somewhat of an anomaly in the San Francisco rock scene; their strong roots in country music and early rock and roll seemed to work against them. In addition, perhaps because they were so versatile, their image was somewhat nebulous; as writer Robert Christgau put it, "All they really lacked was a boss, and what could be more American than that?"

Mofungo - Slimeball Necktie
willie klein chris nelsonelliot sharp robert sietsma sue garnerend of the world part 2Part No Wave, part post-punk, Mofungo were an off kilter noise band that worked in atonalities, squalling sax, and unsettling vocals. Mofungo evolved' (rather than just formed) from a group called Blinding Headache, which was essentially a running jam session that took place in a New York University dormitory. Blinding Headache morphed into Mofungo when Rick Brown left to join Information. Their first release, the Elementary Particles EP, saw release in 1980 after the band had paid some dues by backing Nico. In 1981, the band released their first full-length album, End of the World. Partially mixed by the dB's Chris Stamey, the album caught the attention of critic Robert Christgau, who managed to talk them up enough to get them a single release in the UK on Rough Trade. After 1982's Out of Line, the band went through a line-up shift, with Seth Gunning gone, drummer Jeff McGovern focusing on his other band, The Scene is Now, and sax player A.C. Chubb leaving to start a family. The album, regardless of internalstrain, contained classic' Mofungo tracks that would become staples in the band's live show: "Three," "FBI Informant," and "Migrant Assembly Line Workers." Dwindled down to just two members, Robert Sietsama and Willie Klein set about enrolling new members to carry on. Joining Mofungo for the next era of the band's recording history were Chris Nelson, and Phil Dray, and the band began a three-album relationship with Lost Records, under the larger umbrella of Twin/Tone. Frederick Douglass (1985), Messenger Dogs of the Gods (1986), and End of the World, Part 2 (1987) were all well received, and the band followed the 1987 release with a tour of the Midwest in an RV driven by Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan. While quasi-member and producer Elliot Sharp was unable to make the trip through the heartland, he did manage to finagle the band a deal with then indie heavyweights SST, headed by former Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn. The politically topical (attacks on Robert Bork and the air traffic controllers' strike, for example) Bugged (1988) was their first SST release, followed in 1989 with their final album, Work. In June of 1992, Mofungo played their last show at CBGB's in New York. ~ Christopher M. True, All Music Guide [ More Detail ]
